LETTER f r o m

t h e

RIGHT NOW, INNOVATION WITHIN THE WELLNESS FIELD IS EXPLODING. New products, procedures and protocols roll out almost daily. At Reflections, we couldn’t be more excited to learn about and try as many of them as possible. This year’s Technology issue is filled with reviews from our writers and experts on what they find useful in their own lives as well as interviews with health care professionals on the cutting edge. For example, we spent an afternoon in the operating room at EvergreenHealth Medical Center with local orthopedic surgeon Dr. Christopher Boone. He is a technophile who uses robotics to perfect total knee and hip joint replacement surgeries, which are some of the most common procedures performed in the country. You can read about his story on page 48. We also researched Americans’ current thoughts and beliefs surrounding the advancement of technology within the health care sector, including topics like gene editing and wearable health monitors. Read the surprising results on page 40. Lastly, in case you want to escape tech for a week or two, check out the beautiful ranches featured on page 60 that offer a reprieve from screens. From California to Wyoming, book a trip for the whole family and enjoy some time in the great outdoors.

“Since Shops at The Bravern opened in 2009, we have consistently offered an unparalleled luxury shopping experience in the Northwest,” said Matthew Klutznick, General Manager of The Shops at The Bravern. “Fashion Week is a time to celebrate what’s next in fashion, beauty, design and lifestyle, as well as a moment to recognize the rich culture and creative spirit of our region. We are excited to welcome our clients from the past 10 years as well as new visitors to The Shops at The Bravern this September.” The fashion show was held at Neiman Marcus on September 14, and all proceeds from ticket sales benefited Save the Children, an organization dedicated to giving children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm throughout the world.

HOMETOWN AIRLINE AIMS TO REDUCE WASTE Alaska Airlines recently launched its new #fillbeforeyoufly initiative in an effort to reduce the amount of single-use plastics used on its flights. Through this effort, the Seattlebased airline is asking its passengers to bring an empty reusable plastic or aluminum water bottle with them to their airport. The bottle can then be filled after going through a TSA check point and can be enjoyed throughout the flight.

ANOTHER FCC AUTHORIZATION FOR OSSIA For more than a decade, Bellevuebased Ossia has been developing a technology called Cota that provides wireless charging to myriad devices at a distance. Earlier this year, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized Cota to be marketed and sold in the U.S. In October, the company announced its second FCC certification with the authorization of the Cota Forever Tracker, which wirelessly charges asset tracking systems that enable real-time tracking of semi-trailers, crates, pallets, packages, and other high value assets.

study: washington ranks ninth in growth of womenowned firms Washington is proving to be a hotbed of opportunity for entrepreneurial women as it ranked ninth in growth of women-owned firms, according to the ninth annual State of WomenOwned Businesses Report. The 2019 State of Women-Owned Businesses Report, commissioned by American Express, is based on data from the United States Census Bureau Survey of Business Owners. The report found that, across the national, state, and metro levels, women-owned businesses have enjoyed double-digit gains over the last five years and today account for nearly half of all businesses. According to the findings, Washington has an estimated 215,185 womenowned businesses, a 10% increase since 2014. To read the full stories, visit 425business.com.

NUTRITION

MAKE THE MOST OF MUSHROOM SEASON Fall is the perfect time to cook with the earthy ingredient

m ushro om s 101 WHITE BUTTONS

The most common mushroom found, white mushrooms pair well with most meals and are very versatile. PORTOBELLO CAPS

Rich in taste, portobello caps are frequently compared to a filet mignon in taste and are often grilled and served as a red meat substitute.

THE BENEFITS

• • • • • • • •

Rich source of selenium Lowers cholesterol Prevents diabetes Improves bone health Assists in nutrient absorption Boosts immune system Lowers blood pressure Increases iron absorption

BABY BELLAS

Earthier than white buttons but still a favorite, they’re very subtle and pair well with most dishes. SHIITAKES

AT THE STORE

Mushrooms come in all shapes and sizes, but picking the best isn’t as difficult a task as it may seem. Small or big, brown or white, always choose mushrooms that are firm and smooth. Remember, mushrooms and moisture aren’t a good combination, so make sure you’re picking up mushrooms that are dry to the touch but not rough. Finding mushrooms in the wild isn’t like blueberry picking; never eat wild mushrooms. Mushrooms found in nature can contain heavy metals, which can be toxic because mushrooms have a special ability to absorb the materials they’re growing on or near.

Earthy and smoky, shiitake mushrooms can be a bit chewier than others but are a good match for savory and saltforward dishes.

TIP: Store your mushrooms in a paper bag or tea towel in a cool place.

m a k e i t ton igh t: w il d r ice w i t h m ushro om s INGREDIENTS

12 ounces long-grain and wild rice mix 3 tablespoons butter 1 large sweet onion, diced 12 ounces assorted fresh mushrooms, trimmed and sliced ¼ teaspoon salt ½ cup store-bought marsala sauce ½ cup chopped parsley 22 | november 2019 reflections

DIRECTIONS

• Prepare rice by following package directions. • Melt the butter in a large skillet and add onion; sauté until golden. • Add mushrooms and salt; sauté until tender. • Add marsala and sauté until liquid is absorbed. • Stir together mushroom mixture, rice and fresh parsley.

READING CORNER

BOOKS ABOUT TECH Health and technology—lumped together, it’s a tough subject. Technology has proved to have a large impact on our mental and physical health. On one hand, being overly connected can cause psychological issues like depression, instances of narcissism, distraction and expectations of instant gratification. Along with those mental health issues come physical ones such as vision degradation, hearing loss and neck strain. On the other hand, there’s something to be said for a generation obsessed with reaching step goals by our watches or maintaining the perfect calorie count. Let’s not forget about the impact that technology has had on health care, of course. If you’re a techie looking to get a little less screen time while still indulging in your hobby, check out some of these fun reads. HOW TO DO NOTHING by Jenny

Odell In today’s world of overstimulation and constant information overload, it’s become harder to do nothing these days. In this book, Odell criticizes the sources that we allow to define productivity and success—aka, the social media apps, ads and websites that vie for our attention and personal information almost constantly. How to Do Nothing is Odell’s field guide to thinking outside the capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism.

ELON MUSK: TESLA, SPACEX, AND THE QUEST FOR A FANTASTIC FUTURE by

Ashlee Vance This book dives into the life of one of the most famous people in the world. Following Musk’s story from childhood through the time he spent at PayPal and into SpaceX and beyond to Tesla and SolarCity, Vance interviews Musk and his family and friends who were with him through these roles. If you’ve ever wanted to get to know the man behind some of the world’s most important accomplishments, this is your chance.

THE SECOND MACHINE AGE by Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson Seasoned technology writers, McAfee and Brynjolfsson predicted the effects of our technology-obsessed population in this collaboration and in their former book Race Against the Machine. This collaborative relationship was born in the industrial revolution when machines were used to help labor workers accomplish tasks. In this book, the two argue that the further along technology gets, these machines become a substitute for humans rather than a compliment because they gain the ability to take over cognitive tasks rather than assisting with them. The Second Machine Age offers a fascinating look into the world we’re living in now, and once you’ve finished it, don’t miss out on their newest book, Machine, Platform, Crowd, about what to do in this new age of automation and how to move forward from here.

IGEN by Jean

M. Twenge, PhD The term “iGen” stands for people born in the mid-1990s to mid-2000s; they’re the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of the smartphone. The book iGen dives deeply into the correlation between technology and this subsection of our population’s unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression and loneliness. Dr. Twenge also uses this platform to explain social constructs that have developed because of that same influence, such as how “iGen” spends their time and their attitudes toward religion, sexuality and politics. As the first generation of their kind, understanding the “iGen” group will help us understand what the future has to hold.

I still have it today. Later, when I graduated from the U W, my parents’ graduation gift was a Rolex. They added a sentimental engraving on the back and I still wear it with a sense of pride, accomplishment, and much gratitude. Timepieces become treasured heirlooms and my passion for them is something I want to share with you.

HIIT FOR THE HOLIDAYS The holidays are a notoriously hard time to stay on top of your workout schedule. But remember, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a full hour to make a positive effect on your body. Personal trainer and yoga instructor Tamara Weiss recommends adding in a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session whenever you have a few spare minutes. She designed two four-minute mixed interval combinations to choose from or try all four together. photography

TAMARA’S TOP HIIT TIPS Warm up to prevent injury. Walk for 3 to 10 minutes or hop on a stationary bike. Another option is to practice the exercises at a slower pace to rehearse proper form. Get cleared for vigorous movement. Before performing high-intensity cardiovascular activity, please check in with your doctor. Modify any movements to accommodate physical limitations. Perform at maximum force, power, strength and speed. The point is to go all-out for a short amount of time. Once you’ve perfected form, go as hard as you can. Perform HIIT in moderation. Because the intensity is high, don’t perform these workouts too often. In general, incorporating two to three non-consecutive days of HIIT workouts into your routine will allow enough recovery time, while delivering excellent results. Take time to cool down. Perform the same activity you chose for your warm-up at the end of the session, or try a few simple stretches. This will help your body recover from the quick movements.

the modern kitchen 36 | november 2019 reflections

New technology makes our tasks easier, so modern culinary devices can be great tools to have in the kitchen when you want to tackle those seemingly scary dishes. Here are three recipes made simpler by using certain kitchen gadgets. Give ’em a whirl and who knows? You might just find a tool you can’t live without!

m in d & b ody

Sous Vide Pork Chops INGREDIENTS: • 4 pork chops, about 1½ inches thick • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary • Salt • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided • 1 tablespoon butter

Joules Sous Vide, $199 chefsteps.com/joule.com

INSTRUCTIONS Clamp the sous vide to the side of a large container. Fill with water until the water line is between the min. and max. lines on the machine, and then set the temperature to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. On a cutting board, prepare the pork chops by dusting with rosemary and heavily salting both sides. Add them to a gallon-sized bag and pour in one tablespoon of olive oil. Submerge in the water with the bag unzipped so that the pressure from the water pushes the air in the bag out and acts as a vacuum seal for the meat. Then close the bag and use clothespins to secure it to the container. Be sure the meat is suspended. Then set the timer for 1 hour and 30 minutes. When finished, remove the meat from the bag and pat dry. Heat a nonstick sauté pan on high, and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the meat for one and a half minutes on each side, baste with butter and serve warm.

bellevue club november 2019 | 37

Cuisinart Convection Breadmaker, $159.95 cuisinart.com

Bread Machine Rosemary Olive Oil Bread INGREDIENTS: • 1 cup lukewarm water • cup lukewarm milk • 3 tablespoons olive oil • 1½ teaspoons salt • 3¾ cups King Arthur’s unbleached all-purpose flour • 3 tablespoons sugar • 2 tablespoons dried rosemary • 1¾ teaspoons instant yeast

INSTRUCTIONS Layer the ingredients in your machine’s loaf pan in the order recommended by your machine’s manual. Make sure to keep a layer of flour between the salt and the yeast, as direct contact will kill the yeast. If using a flour different from King Arthur’s, make sure the gluten content is similar (11.7%) as it affects the bread’s rise. When all the ingredients are in the mixer, close the lid and select the basic setting on your machine. If available, also select the light crust feature and then press start. If the dough is sticky after the first kneading process, add an additional tablespoon of flour. If it appears too hard, add one tablespoon of water to soften. Then close the lid and allow the machine to continue the baking process. When the timer goes off, immediately remove the loaf pan from the machine using oven mitts. Turn the loaf out of the pan onto a wire rack and cool for 30 minutes before slicing.

SURVEY SAYS A BRIEF LOOK AT OUR OPINIONS CONCERNING THE RAPID GROWTH OF HEALTH-CARE AND WELLNESS TECHNOLOGIES The advancement of technology in health care is ever-expanding. From gene therapy to life extension to ingestible nanotechnology, the developments can seem infinite and near-miraculous. But are we ready to accept them? Over the past few years, the Pew Research Center has conducted and published numerous surveys on the subject. We compiled the highlights to give you an idea of where we stand as a country on adopting various new practices into our health-care culture. TECH TRACKING Wearable tracking devices for working out or wellness monitoring have become a billion-dollar business, but surveys show more people choose pen and paper or their memory. “SEVEN IN TEN (69%) U.S. adults track a health indicator for themselves or a loved one and many say this activity has changed their overall approach to health,” according to a new survey by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project.

BIOMEDICAL BREAKDOWN Biomedical technologies are on the rise in nearly every sector of the health-care industry. While many of the prospects seem exciting and encouraging, the majority of people remain skeptical. In 2016, the research center reported, “Americans are more worried than enthusiastic about using gene editing, brain chip implants and synthetic blood to change human capabilities.” When Americans are questioned about the prospect of these specific kinds of enhancements for healthy people, their views are cautious and often resistant:

Majorities of U.S. adults say they would be “very” or “somewhat” worried about gene editing (68%), brain chips (69%) and synthetic blood (63%). More say they would not want enhancements of their brains and their blood (66% AND 63%, RESPECTIVELY) than say they would want them (32% AND 35%). U.S. adults are closely split on the question of whether they would want gene editing to help prevent diseases for their babies (48% WOULD, 50% WOULD NOT).

At least SEVEN IN TEN adults predict each of these new technologies will become available before they have been fully tested or understood. Majorities say these enhancements could exacerbate the divide between haves and have-nots. For instance, 73% believe inequality will increase if brain chips become available because initially they will be obtainable only by the wealthy.

DECODING DNA Digging into the health-related information contained in our DNA has never been more popular or accessible. The most common use, however, is to find out more about ancestral history.

15% 38% 42 | november 2019 reflections

About ONE IN SEVEN U.S. ADULTS (15%) say they have used a mail-in DNA testing service from a company such as AncestryDNA or 23andMe, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.

About FOUR IN TEN U.S. ADULTS (38%) say they were surprised by what their DNA test results showed about what countries or continents their ancestors came from.

GENETIC ENGINEERING Genetic engineering remains one of the most controversial subjects surrounding the future of health care and wellness. Conversations surrounding these topics include the following:

72% 19%

ABOUT SEVEN IN TEN AMERICANS (72%) SAY THAT CHANGING AN UNBORN BABYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GENETIC CHARACTERISTICS TO TREAT A SERIOUS DISEASE OR CONDITION THAT THE BABY WOULD HAVE AT BIRTH IS AN APPROPRIATE USE OF MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY.

BUT JUST 19% OF AMERICANS SAY IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO USE GENE EDITING TO MAKE A BABY MORE INTELLIGENT.

OVERALL, MEN ARE MORE LIKELY THAN WOMEN TO VIEW GENE EDITING FOR BABIES AS APPROPRIATE.

WOMEN THAN MEN ANTICIPATE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF GENE EDITING.

bellevue club november 2019 | 43

In general, “most Americans accept genetic engineering of animals that benefits human health, but many oppose other uses,” according to a 2018 survey. Presented with five different scenarios of animal genetic engineering that are currently available, in development or considered possible in the future, Americans provide majority support only for the two that have clear potential to preempt or ameliorate human illness.

70% OF AMERICANS believe that genetically engineering mosquitoes to prevent their reproduction and therefore the spread of some mosquito-borne diseases would be an appropriate use of technology.

57% MAJORITY considers it appropriate to genetically engineer animals to grow organs or tissues that could be used for humans needing a transplant.

43% say the creation of more

nutritious meat for human consumption is appropriate.

32% say restoring an extinct animal species from a closely related species is appropriate.

21% OF AMERICANS consider it an

appropriate use of technology to genetically engineer aquarium fish to glow using a fluorescence gene, while 77% say this is taking technology too far. ANTI-AGING AND LIFE EXTENSION Radically extending the lives of humans using wellness technologies isn’t a new topic; it’s discussed in Hollywood movies as often as in cutting-edge medical circles. But the reality of it has never been closer. However, not everyone sees it as a positive direction.

56% 69% 51% 25%

56% SAY THEY PERSONALLY WOULD NOT WANT MEDICAL TREATMENTS THAT SLOW THE AGING PROCESS.

69% SAY THEIR IDEAL LIFE SPAN IS BETWEEN 79 AND 100 YEARS.

51% SAY MEDICAL TREATMENTS THAT SLOW THE AGING PROCESS ARE BAD FOR SOCIETY.

25% SAY THE AVERAGE PERSON WILL LIVE TO AT LEAST 120 YEARS OLD BY THE YEAR 2050.

RADICAL ROBOTS Local orthopedic surgeon Dr. Christopher Boone uses the most cutting-edge technology to perfect joint replacement surgeries.

here was exactly one instance in which orthopedic surgeon Dr. Christopher Boone disagreed with the information he received from the robotic arm-assisted technology he uses to perform knee and hip replacements. He immediately pulled the plug on the robot, grabbed the X-ray and finished without it. “But the robot was right,” he says. Coming to the same conclusion cost him minutes while the patient was on the table with an open wound. In the end, the operation was as successful as the hundreds of others he performed before he had the technology. But the experience made a strong impact on Boone, who has a background as a trauma surgeon and greatly values efficiency. “The robot has never been wrong, not once. If it gives you numbers, and you think you know better, you are wrong. It’s that simple,” he says. Boone currently practices with Proliance Bellevue, and he says the robots can see things even the best surgeons in the world can’t and therefore they can be much more precise. “Everyone’s knee is different. Some people have knock knees; some have a more saddle shape. If you’re using the standard protocol, you pretty much put in all knees the same way,” Boone says. The robots he has been using for the past four years turn that process on its head, predicting the optimal fit down to a single degree. “No human eye can do that,” he says.

bellevue club november 2019 | 49

JOINT FACTS

In the U.S. alone, surgeons perform about 600,000 knee replacements a year. These surgeries cost a combined $9 billion.

50 | november 2019 reflections

Roughly 330,000 hip replacements are performed, according to Harvard Medical School.

The top three causes for a joint replacement: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis

s a result of his experience, both with and without robotic assistance, Boone explicitly trusts the technology. The use of it has helped him shave off up to 30 minutes on a single procedure. This reduces the risk of infection for the patient and allows him to help more people in a day. However, for many orthopedic surgeons, this is a difficult concept to accept. “It’s hard for a surgeon who was trained to not be wrong and be very sure of themselves to make that switch and have the trust. It’s a fundamentally different idea from the one we’re trained with,” he says. Boone was a very early adopter of robotics and believes it can significantly advance a field facing a major challenge. Right now, he says there is a specific subset of patients who struggle with knee replacement surgeries. “One in five knees [post-surgery] are not happy. They just don’t do well, and we as a profession don’t know why. You can look at the X-ray, and it can be a perfect-looking knee, a great-looking knee, but the patient still says it is stiff and not comfortable.” Boone says this phenomenon is currently the most pressing topic among orthopedic surgeons and cause for much debate at conferences and gatherings. “We’re all chasing that 20 percent,” Boone says. “Because one in five—that’s a high number. And I think robotics gets at the problem.”

buchan.com bellevue club november 2019 | 51

Dr. Boone frequently uses robotics while performing surgery at EvergreenHealth Medical Center.

he robotic assisted technology Boone uses for knee replacements is called the NAVIO, created by Smith & Nephew, and it uses “direct anatomic mapping” to achieve a higher level of accuracy than ever before. It allows him to perform total replacements, ACL-sparing knee surgeries (on candidates with the right indications), and other complicated procedures. He uses similar robots for hip replacement and resurfacing surgeries as well. Boone is excited about the possibilities in the future for incorporating more robotic-based technology into orthopedic surgery and says the industry is just now hitting the tipping point. “We’ve only touched the surface. Robotics are just starting to take off and all the metrics are showing signs of enhanced outcomes,” he says.

ABOUT DR. BOONE Dr. Christopher Boone grew up in Chewelah, Washington, and knew from a young age that he wanted to be a physician, following in his father’s footsteps. After graduating from Western Washington University, he specialized in trauma and hip and pelvic reconstruction at Stanford University. He opened a practice on the Eastside five years ago and joined Proliance earlier this year. For more information about Dr. Boone, please visit christopherboonemd.com.

HIGH NUTRITION, LOW WASTE Eating lots of fresh foods has great nutritional benefitsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but there is a downside. Higher-quality diets are associated with greater amounts of food waste, according to a study published last year in the journal PLOS One. To investigate, researchers rated diets on a quality scale from 0 to 100. Those Americans who were in the bottom 20 percent of healthful diets wasted 295 grams of food per day, while those in the top 20 percent wasted an average of 535 grams of food per day.

All combined, Americans waste nearly a pound of food a day, or about 800 calories. Fruits and vegetables are the biggest offenders in wasted food, followed by dairy, meat and grains. But a whole lot of water goes down the drain, too. Every year, more than four trillion gallons of water are used to grow the food we never eat. Worldwide, enough food is wasted every year to feed nearly two billion people a 2,100-calorie-a-day diet.

bellevue club november 2019 | 55

Those statistics may be discouraging, but they’re not a reason to trade in the parsnips and pears for processed food. Instead, follow these tips to waste less while still incorporating plenty of fresh food into your meals.

56 | november 2019 reflections

1. SHOP WITH AN INGREDIENTS LIST. It’s all too easy to browse the aisles of the grocery store, grabbing whatever catches your eye. Instead, sit down and prepare a list of meals you want to eat in a given week. Buy only the ingredients for those meals, and be realistic about what you can consume. Take into account any days when you’ll be eating out. 2. DON’T LET FOOD GET “OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND.” If you’re not in the habit of opening your crisper drawer regularly, don’t place foods in there only to waste away. Or you could try keeping a list on the fridge of what’s inside, so you always know what’s left to eat. You can also set out a bowl of veggies for snacking—when those broccoli florets are right in front of you, you’re much more likely to reach for them.

3. RETHINK PRODUCE THAT’S PAST ITS PRIME. Have tomatoes that are too mushy to be sliced and added to a salad? Cook them down into a pasta sauce. Bread too stiff for a sandwich? Make croutons instead. Greens getting a little soft? Throw them in a smoothie. Apples can become applesauce, cucumbers can be pickled, and overripe bananas are made for banana bread. 4. CONSIDER THE FREEZER YOUR FRIEND. When you realize you won’t be able to eat something in time, most food can be frozen—just don’t forget about it, or else you’ll simply be delaying the waste by a few months. You can even freeze some herbs—including rosemary, oregano and sage—by placing them in an ice cube tray with butter or olive oil. Also, don’t be afraid to buy frozen fruits or vegetables in the first place. Fresh is great, but if you’re routinely throwing a certain type of produce away, consider switching to frozen.

5. LEARN TO CAN. Making your own jams, jellies and preserves is a great way to rescue in-season produce from spoiling— and it’ll give you the opportunity to taste some of your favorite flavors throughout the year. Apples, pears, plums, peaches, nectarines, blueberries and strawberries are all good candidates for the simple process of water-bath canning. 6. ONLY BUY IN BULK WHEN IT MAKES SENSE. The deals that come with buying in bulk can be irresistible, but if you live alone and can’t possibly finish a 2.5-pound bag of spinach before it wilts, pass on the bargain and buy in a smaller quantity instead—unless, of course, you have big plans for freezing or canning. 7. UNDERSTAND FOOD LABELS. Lots of food is thrown out every year because people think it’s expired based on labels like “sell by” and “best if used by.” Those labels are inconsistent, and they’re just guesses by the manufacturer. That said, consuming food that has spoiled can make someone very sick, so if you notice any change in color, texture or smell, you should toss it. Some items, such as chicken or fish, grow harmful bacteria quickly, so it’s better to err on the side of caution with them. But if it’s three days past the “best by” label on your lettuce and it still looks and smells the way it normally does, don’t feel like you need to chuck it just because of the date given. 8. STORE FOOD SMARTLY. There are many tricks to make food last longer just by the way you store it. For example, don’t keep fruits and vegetables together, as many fruits release a gas that causes neighboring items to ripen more quickly. Don’t wash produce before putting it in the fridge—that will make it go bad faster. Mushrooms do best in a brown paper bag, while eggplant should be stored on the counter. Wrap celery in tinfoil to help it stay crisp longer. These are just a few examples—do some research to see how your favorite ingredients prefer to be stored.

P OST R A NC H I N N BIG SUR, CALIFORNIA

P O ST R A N C H I N N

With its collection of architecturally impressive free-standing houses and rooms, The Post Ranch Inn is like no other property in the world. Book the Cliff House, a private dwelling that perches high over the dramatic coastal cliffs and features a glass shower and walls, stainless steel outdoor hot tub and lounging deck that maximizes the ocean view. Or choose the Tree House, which is exactly like what it sounds—a set of well-appointed rooms that sits nine feet high among the ancient trees of California. If you prefer mountain views, they have a perfectly positioned house for that too. The options to soak in the natural landscape are endless at this award-winning resort that has combined the visions of many architects and artists throughout the decades. All accommodations include complimentary activities including yoga, guided nature hikes and stargazing, as well as access to multiple infinity swimming pools and hot tubs. For more information, visit postranchinn.com

SAG E LO D G E PARADISE VALLEY, MONTANA

Sage Lodge is an outdoor-lover’s haven located on the banks of Yellowstone River with views of the surrounding mountain ranges. The 1,200acre resort is just half an hour from Yellowstone National Park, which is a major draw to the property. But, the options to play extend far beyond the park. Specializing in recreational fishing, the resort offers access to some of the best fly fishing in the country as well as to a private trout casting fish pond. Guided hiking, bird watching, mountain biking, snowshoeing and wildlife tracking round out the outdoor activities at guests’ fingertips. However, indoor options aren’t bad either, complete with two dining options, a spa and a fitness center that offers yoga and Pilates classes. Stay in one of the lodge guest rooms or book an entire ranch house to fit all your friends and family. For more information, visit sagelodge.com

GATEWAY, COLORADO

Resting among the red rocks of Unaweep Canyon in Colorado, Gateway Canyons is a sustainable recreation resort that combines the nostalgia of simple ranch life with luxurious accommodations, experiences and wellness amenities. At the nearby Palisade Ranch, enjoy some equine therapy and choose from a range of activities on horseback. Ride across the 500 acres of rustic trails, or sign up for cowboy lessons, cattle roping classes and cattle drives. Perfect for the active traveler, hiking and mountain biking is also encouraged on the 6,000acre property. After, take a dip in one of three on-site pools and hot tubs, relax at the full-service spa, take a yoga class or replenish your body at one of multiple restaurants that boast locally-sourced, fresh fare. End the night stargazing in the desert or watching a movie in the state-of-the-art entertainment theater. Be sure to plan a day for some of the ranchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature offerings: a helicopter ride over the distinct landscape or a tour of the classic car museum.

This resort pairs the wide-open, wild spaces of Wyomingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backcountry with the height of luxury and wellness.
